Sensei For Mac

There are plenty of tools out there that can help you keep your Mac in good shape, but few offer everything you need in one interface. If an all-in-one system information and maintenance app is what you're looking for, you might want to take a look at Sensei.

This app provides hardware information, active resource and cooling monitoring, as well as various types of software optimization. It is impressively versatile, and it doesn't exactly break the bank when you consider what it offers.

macOS doesn't come with a decent tool for monitoring temperatures and fan speeds, but Sensei has you covered. All Mac components that are equipped with these sensors will be watched by the app, giving you all the info you need in one place.

You can also quickly get a good idea of how various apps stress your CPU and graphics card, as well as monitor RAM usage to pinpoint applications that might be hogging too much memory.

The login optimizer is pretty straightforward. Essentially, it allows you to disable certain apps, agents or daemons from being launched at login, which can reduce startup times.

Sensei also helps you uninstall apps and remove all their related files in one fell swoop, and you can even remove multiple applications in batch mode. Fairly classic uninstaller, and it works great.

Finally, you can get rid of redundant files by removing downloads, cache data, system logs and other such items that may no longer be necessary. The app also searches for particularly large files that could free up a lot of disk space.

Aside from just monitoring fan speed and temperature, Sensei also analyzes your storage drives, graphics adapter, and battery. Storage devices can even be benchmarked, and you can check their current health to see how much life they have left in them.

Similarly, you can quickly verify that your MacBook's battery is still in good working condition and see how much of its charge capacity it has lost over the years.

Applications that squeeze a bunch of features in a single package aren't always better than finding separate apps that perform each function, but everything that Sensei includes is incredibly useful. Given that you may already be relying on several apps for these features, having them all in one intuitive interface could very well be worth the price.
